Penny was prompt, loved on our Liam and even gave a little love to our Henry kitty. We were able to relax and enjoy our time at the wedding knowing our pets were in good hands. Thanks Penny!

Mrs. Carolina was with my Remo from 8 weeks old to 7 months. She took great care of my baby, and helped me when things came up suddenly. She is a wonderful caretaker for your furry baby and we will miss her a bunch! You are in great hands

Aurora was just amazing. She was prompt and dependable. I felt very comfortable giving her the key to my home, as well as my alarm code on our meet and greet. My dogs simply adored her. She was gentle and loving with them. I felt like I could relax and have a good time on vacation knowing my dogs were in her loving care. I did not have to worry at all about potty breaks, and attention. It was so nice to have peace of mind. Thank you, Aurora!

I had Evan do a drop-in visit for my pet, and he did an excellent job. He was punctual, attentive, and my pet seemed happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Evan as a pet sitter on Rover!

About: Dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own pups! I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of love, and I’m great at keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Every pet in my care gets the attention and affection they deserve—because I treat them like part of my family. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine around my full-time work schedule. I’m available for evening walks during the week and have daytime availability on Wednesdays and Sundays for walks or drop-in visits. This allows me to give each pet my full attention without overbooking or rushing between visits. I plan my schedule to ensure I can provide safe, reliable, and consistent care every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and administering oral medications if needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention during each visit. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes or harnesses and monitoring each pet’s behavior and comfort level. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so your pet feels safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I became a dog mama long before I became a human mama. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, so I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and genuine compassion, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. 🐾 I currently stay at home with my boys so I am available to give lots of love and attention to your fur babies while I do the same to my own! I have a large fenced in backyard, a quiet neighborhood for walks, 2 toddler boys who will help with lots of playtime, and a small dog who loves company!

About: I have raised and trained a few dogs from puppy's through the end of life. I promise I will take good care of your dog as if it were my own. I am recently retired so I do have some time to spend with your pet. I could come to your home and let them out and spend some time playing. Before I leave I'll make sure your dog has food and water and pick up any waste. I held my last job for thirty six years and handled quite a lot of money so I am trustworthy. I rarely get sick so I am always available. If need be I could watch your dog at my house and I do have a fenced in yard.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. To me they are like family and should be treated with love. I have 3 of my own that I've had since they were puppies. I'm currently working part time so I'm using my extra time to help others with their fur babies. I'm home most of the time so I can give them extra attention. My back yard is fenced in. I have dog crates available if they need it. Tons of toys and treats too. Clean and bug free home.

About: I have had at least 4 dogs in my personal household since I was about 5 years old, so I love to be around and engage with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have also previously worked at a dog boarding institution for about 2 years before I left for college. At this previous job I was given the responsibility to make sure all dogs were fed, medicated (if needed), bathed, watered, and let outside an appropriate amount of times throughout the day. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I love starting or ending my day with a walk or drop-in visit, and weekends are wide open for house sitting or longer stays. My schedule is steady and reliable, so you’ll always know exactly when your pet will get attention! I will be keeping an eye on your pups at all times to ensure their safety because all dogs will be treated just as I would treat my own.

About: I have a lot of experiencing taking care of pets. I have been a sitter for rabbits, dogs and cats. I took care of my own pets since childhood. I worked at a dog daycare/spa and my duties were to have a one-on-one with dogs if they need attention or enrichment activities. I also worked along side my mom when she cared for pets through Rover. Im current at home full time, so that means I will have a plenty of time to see your animals. My preference will be either early morning or late afternoon. if you need me come to at a different time we can talk to make sure I meet your pet's needs. Im living in apartment with total three people including myself. We don't have any pets here, which can be a good thing for anxious dogs who are not good being around other animals. I can watch one dog max in my apartment. There is a trail by my home I will give them walking daily. Let me know if your dog has a special need and I will do that for your pets!

About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!
